A NEw kind
Of Politics

OUR MEMBERS

Together, we represent every continent on Earth from the smallest island nations to some of the world’s biggest economies.

Most of us are from the global south, most of us are women and most of us are black, indigenous and other people of colour. We want to create a space where lawmakers can share experiences, inspire one another, and increase the possibility of real progressive change nationally and globally.

We represent a new kind of politics, one that is open, collaborative and where politicians from around the world talk to one another as equals, and to the public as partners.
